Mani Ratnam-directed Thug Life made a disappointing mark at the box office despite promising hopes. Marking such an acclaimed filmmaker joining forces with Kamal Haasan after so many years, audiences had expected another thumping win like Nayakan, their first movie together. And now, the director opened up on the debacle earned by his movie and expressed apologies for not living up to the expectations. Mani Ratnam apologizes for Thug Life failure In an interview with 123 Telugu, filmmaker Mani Ratnam addressed the failure of Thug Life and explained how they were unable to deliver something like Nayakan, which audiences wanted to witness on screen. He added that as a team, the makers wanted to try something different, but as it turned out, this was not exactly what the audience actually desired. In his words, 'For those who were expecting another Nayakan from the two of us, all I can say is we are sorry. It was never our intention to go back. Why should we? We wanted to do something completely different. I think more than over-expectation, it was another expectation. The audience expected something far removed from what we delivered.'

It all happened after one of Kamal Haasan's statements hurt the sentiments of the Kannada-speaking audiences, and the film was banned from screening in the state.
